It was lunch time, and soon my mother-in-law and neighbor borrowed two dining tables to put all the dishes on.

The lunch was incredibly rich, abalone, oyster, lobster, scallops, sea cucumbers, conchs, and other fish. It seemed that all the precious seafood could be seen on the dining table. Even the two royal princesses were shocked by the precious seafood on the table.

Some of them are treasured by their mother-in-law in the near future, while others are bought from people in the village. In order to entertain these granddaughters, she also spared no expense.

Li Xuehao sat on the tatami, feeling very sad. Will this meal be gone in the future?

Of course, this is just a subconscious complaint. If you have one meal or two, you won’t really make your mother-in-law poor after a while.

"Mother-in-law, you have made too much, we can't eat so much." Even the helper Guasheng Mayi was shocked. When she was just helping, she didn't know that there were so many.

"Eat, eat more." But my mother-in-law smiled happily and watched everyone have dinner happily.

Chiba Sayuri, Mai Guazumi, Yuki Mashima, Ryoko Mizuhashi, Tomoko Mizuhashi, Ningning Mizuhashi, Yuma Aragaki, Princess Yoko, Princess Reiko, Miho Honma Miho, many beautiful girls were dazzled by her.

"Grandma, you eat too." Katoko Mizuhashi walked up to her with a bowl, trying to look up at her.

"Kanchiko also eat more so that she can grow up quickly." Not long after, my mother-in-law squatted down and wiped off the rice grains that were stained on the corner of her mouth.

"Yes." Mizuhashi Katoko nodded heavily, then buried her face in the bowl.

"Mother-in-law soon!" Everyone was having a meal, and a voice suddenly came from outside. Hearing the anxious tone, it seemed that something urgent was coming to me.

"Is it Longyi?" Hearing the voice, my mother-in-law knew who the person was. Li Xuehao also heard it. The person came was the young man who was enthusiastic about helping him before, Ryuichi Kitano.

Sure enough, with the rapid sound, Kitano Ryuki hurriedly ran in.

"Is something happened?" Seeing his sweaty face, my mother-in-law asked.

"Those people are here again, the village chief calls you over." Although Kitano Ryuichi was surprised that there were so many people here to eat, there were more important things to do now.

"I understand, I'll go there right away." My mother-in-law frowned, but she knew she couldn't delay it.

"Grandma?" Li Xuehao stood up. Judging from the expression on her face, it was obvious that things were very difficult.

"It's just a small matter, you can continue to eat." Miku's mother-in-law said lightly, and hurriedly left with Kitano Ryu.

"Kojijun." Chiba Xiaoyuri, who was sitting on her head, looked over. Obviously, she realized that things were not that simple.

"I'll go and have a look." Li Xuehao put down his bowls and chopsticks and followed him out of the door. Of course, in order to avoid being discovered, he set up an invisible formation for himself and followed his grandmother-in-law and Kitano Ryuichi.

I followed the two of them and stopped at a family in the village. This was also a wooden house, and the houses in the village were basically the same.

Before I got closer, I could hear the quarrels coming from the house, which were very loud, as if someone was getting angry.

Not long after, my mother-in-law and Kitano Ryuichi looked at each other, and the two of them quickly walked in.

Li Xuehao followed him all the way through the yard and entered the spacious hall.

"I'm here soon, I'll see if I have any opinions..." My mother-in-law seemed to have a good status in the village. When everyone saw him coming in, the sound of quarreling loudly also remained silent.

There are as many as 20 or 30 people in the hall, divided into two factions, one on the left and one on the right.

The people on the left are all fishermen with dark skin and sun exposure all year round. It is obvious at a glance that they are all from the village.

Moreover, they were all older, both men and women. The leader was the oldest, a short old man, who might not even be 1.5 meters tall, but the people in the village regarded him as the most respect.

The group on the right is about the same number as the people on the left, but in addition to the dark-skinned villagers, there are also several people wearing suits and ties.

There were five or six people in a group. The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He had a bald head and a slightly fat figure. He held a pipe in his mouth, surrounded in the middle like stars arching the moon.

Next to him, two young men stood on the left and right, one man and one woman. The young man seemed to have no expression on his face, but his eyes were unruly, and he seemed to be very disdainful of the villagers in front of him. The young woman pursed her lips and frowned sometimes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Going a little further aside, it was a woman in her thirties, wearing a formal professional O-suit and carrying a briefcase in her hand, like the secretary of the bald man.

There is another middle-aged man with a briefcase, but he doesn't look like a follower. He has an extremely shrewd and capable temperament, and he doesn't look like a person who is trying to get started.

"Village Chief, I'm here." After my mother-in-law came in for a while, she walked straight to the left and said to the short old man.

"Sit." Although the short old man looked thin and almost like a child, he had a strong aura, which was completely inversely proportional to his thin body.

Not long after, my mother-in-law sat down next to him and confronted the person on her right.

"Mr. Oda, I think I have made it clear that the mountain behind the village is the habitat of the Dragon Girl, and we will not allow you to destroy it at will." The short old man seemed to have more confidence because of the extra helper here, and said to the bald man in a deep voice, who was obviously Mr. Oda.

"Village Chief, I think you misunderstood. We developed this mountain not to destroy it, but to develop it so that more people can appreciate the wonderful scenery of this Hailongnu Mountain. This is also good for your village. When tourists from other places come, they can stay and buy things here. You don't even have to go into the sea to do dangerous fishing work, and the village will gradually become rich." Although the bald man's voice is not loud, his tone is calm and he has the majesty of a superior.

"Thank you for your kindness, but our village has been doing fishing and planting since thousands of years ago, and there is no need to rely on outsiders at all, so please come back." The short old man refused without hesitation.

Seeing that he couldn't make sense, the bald man frowned and said nothing, but secretly, he gave a wink at a dark-skinned young villager here.

The latter received his hint, stood up from the crowd, looked at the short old man and said, "Village Chief, this is not your own village. You have to ask all of us before you decide."

"Shuidao, just say what you have any opinions. The village is not my own village. The village belongs to everyone. I only strive for benefits for everyone." The short old man's eyes pierced like lightning.

The young villagers named Mizushima seemed to be afraid of his terrible gaze, but thinking of the benefits of the future, he suppressed the tyranny that the village chief had developed over the past few decades: "Guardian, I think Mr. Oda's words are very reasonable. Fishing is a very dangerous tool. Just like last month, the eldest son of the Kashihara family never floated up after diving into the sea, and he has not even found his body yet."

"Shuidao, what are you talking nonsense? My son is not dead. Maybe he is somewhere else." When he heard the example he gave, a villager behind the short old man couldn't help but curse.

Mizushima was not afraid of him: "Kisawara, don't deceive yourself anymore, you know that boy..."

"Shut up! Besides, I want you to know how powerful I am!" Old man Shibahara clenched his fists, wishing he could go over and fight for him.

Mizushima also shut up at the right time. He didn't want to completely annoy the old man. He glanced at the villagers opposite and continued: "I believe everyone knows that going into the sea to fish is never a safe job..."

"That may not be. For my mother-in-law soon, there is nothing safer than this." Someone deliberately sang a counter-topic and interrupted before he could finish.

Mizuma glanced at the expressionless mother-in-law of Miku, and cheered herself up: "Miss Miku is just an individual phenomenon. No one can be as flexible as swimming in the water as she is like her. I am talking about ordinary people, and they are prone to danger."

"So, am I not an ordinary person?" My mother-in-law finally spoke, with a self-deprecating and sarcastic tone that made the people behind her laughter.

Mizushima's face flushed, and he seemed a little angry, but he finally restrained it: "Sister Miku, I know you are a fishing expert, the number one among the sea girls, but not everyone is as powerful as you. If the Kitano family's kid hadn't been rescued by you back then, he would have drowned long ago. I don't think you would have wanted such an accident to happen to the children in the village again, right?"

"This is not something I can control. Everyone has their own destiny, and the Dragon Girl cannot save everyone." Miku's mother-in-law said lightly.

Mizushima cannot refute that the Sea Dragon Girl is the god in everyone's heart. As long as it is mentioned, no one will express disrespect, at least they will never dare to show it on the surface.

"Okay, not to mention fishing, but everyone has already seen Mr. Oda's blueprint. As long as the back mountain is developed, we will attract many tourists here. At that time, everyone's seafood can be sold directly to tourists at a high price, rather than to those unscrupulous merchants at a low price." Mizushima said earnestly.

The villagers opposite were disdainful and showed thoughtful expressions.

"The back mountain is the Sea Dragon Girl Mountain, which is the habitat of the Sea Dragon Girl. If the back mountain is destroyed, the Sea Dragon Girl will lose its habitat, and we will all be retribution. Mizudao, you have heard of that legend." Mizuku's mother-in-law said with a cold face.

"The legend is just a legend. It has been thousands of years. Who has ever seen the Sea Dragon Girl? I don't deny the existence of the Sea Dragon Girl. I just want to say that maybe the Sea Dragon Girl has changed to another habitat and she is no longer here." Mizushima said, fortunately, it was timely changed.

"Shut up! You blasphemous guy!" the short old man cursed angrily, and he didn't care about it. "Anyway, I won't agree to use the back mountain as a development site, and I will never!"

"Village Chief, this is everyone's welfare. You can't represent the village alone." Mizushima also took the initiative and competed for the competition. "Please vote. Anyone who is over 18 years old in the village can vote. If the votes agreed are the majority, the village chief will not be able to stop this."

"Very good, then vote." The short old man was obviously very confident in his prestige, and he was not worried about losing the vote at all.

"Okay, then that's it." Mizushima said solemnly, but there was a hint of secret joy deep in his eyes, as if some conspiracy had succeeded.

"Should you start a vote later, and the time limit is 5 pm. If the vote exceeds this time, the short old man also had his own plans. In order not to have any accidents, he must expect any possible situation.

"Yes." Mizushima nodded. With the financial support of Mr. Oda, I believe that the votes willing to vote for this stubborn old man will definitely not exceed half.

"Okay, you can go out." Seeing that the matter was temporarily reached, the short old man issued an order to expel the guests to the person opposite him. Next, they were going to hold their own meeting.

"Then let's go." Although the quarrel was so irrelevant, this kind of politeness would not be lost.

The group of people left the house one after another. Li Xuehao glanced at her mother-in-law for a while and decided to give up stalking her and instead follow the outsiders. After all, they were the culprits that made the entire village divided into two factions.

After leaving the house, some villagers left, but the only one who had not left the water island, he followed the few people led by the bald man in a pleasing manner.

"Shuidao, well done." Seeing that it was far enough away from the village chief's house, the bald man praised him.

"These are what I should do, Mr. Oda." Mizushima seemed modest.

"Very good. As long as things succeed, you will receive the reward you deserve. I can guarantee that it is definitely a huge astronomical figure." Mr. Oda said with a smile.

Mizushima rubbed his hands repeatedly, and his mouth cracked when he smiled: "I am happy to serve you, Mr. Oda."

"By the way, what is that legend?" asked the young woman next to the bald man. Seeing that she could interrupt at will, she obviously had a good position among the few people.

"That legend is just a legend. No one has ever seen it before. Miss Oda, don't worry." Mizushima smiled flatteringly.

"I want to know, what is the specific legend?" Judging from the surname, Miss Oda seems to be the daughter of a bald man.

Mizushima was not easy to refuse, so he began to tell: "It was said that a thousand years ago, there was a carp demon here, which specialized in eating children, but one day, a beautiful woman came to the village. She was willing to feed the carp demon instead of the child chosen as a sacrifice... The next day, the beautiful woman appeared, and the huge carp demon was also beaten to death by her and dragged back. Just as everyone thanked her, she suddenly became a sea dragon girl with dragon horns and dragon tails. She also designated the back mountain as her habitat. Without her permission, no one could destroy it. Once it was destroyed, she would be punished by her."

"Nonsense!" After hearing him say that Miss Oda hadn't spoken yet, the young man in a suit and tie was full of rebellious eyes said disdainfully, "I don't know how many such legends are everywhere in the world. How could there be carp demons and sea dragon girls in this world? It's just made up artificially, and then it's passed down from generation to generation, I don't know how many people have deceived them."

"Brother, the legend can be passed down, but it may not be fake." Miss Oda disagrees with his statement.

"My dear sister, do you think there are monsters in this world? Don't read so many monster comics in the future, it will be of no benefit to you." The rebellious young man said in a sarcastic tone.
